The fourth day of the heating of the Ijord-Woolney libel -suit occur red yesterday afternoon before Police 3ge Rix, in San Fianciaco. The first wi nesi called L. FelJman, wholesale I dealer in broom corn, etc. I la testified that a purchaser paying 3120 a ton for broomcorn in October, 185 (at the time Director Lord purchased fire tone from Van Laak at that figure) was pay trig an extravagant pi ice. The proper price was from $40 to $60, the rata which his firm had paid down at the wharf, or up in the country.

Brooms frequently became mouldy by being; exposed to ijnpaess and thjv did not deteriorate in alue on that account. A trk-i exposure to the ran was an ample remedy. 1 here should be no rebate for milcewi i He kaew nf no commercial nsuage allowing a rebate onuer each circumstances. Such a claim would be fraudulent noon its face. A 'claim rriarht be allowable for (damage by water.

The witness was not by the prosecution. I DIRECTOR LORD AGAI i The direct examination of the plaiaant, Theodore A. Lard wis resumed. He testified' that previous to the sale of brooms to irrocer May, of inoluln, no schedule of rates for the prici of brooms bad been fixed by the Board of Directors of the Hume for the Adult li'ind. He was not aware that the law absolutely re quired such a schedule to be made.

A minimum rate of 82 40 per dozen had been established. There was nothing to prevent the sale of brooms at a higher rat, Brooms bad been accumulating in the institution faster than thev could be sold. A price list might be a schedule, but a price list prepared by the Superintendent was not a schedule. Witness) thouzht it was desirable to sell them at $3 40 a dozen. because they were tbus disposed of at a punt, and because or their rapid accumu- moldy and tbus injured in value.

They wers accumulating at the rate of i.00 a day. Then again tbs wet season was coming on, with the probabilities of increasing the moldy stock. It was in conformity with the recommendation- of Mr. Eorne, wbo was then the Superintendent, that the minimum rata was hied. TBI GRABT LOAN.

I Mr. Lord testified that he knew Theo dore Grady, who was a graduate of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum, and bad afterwards been graduated by the State University. Grady is riow attending the Johns- Hopkins University in Maryland. Witness further tta'ed that the Board of Directors of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum had agreed loan Grady $buO per year for three years. to enable bim to complete bis post-graduate course at Johns Hopkins University.

The first, year's loin had bejen paid to Grady from the Straws Trust Fund in-Come. Mr. Lord said the authority 1 1 so use the fnnd was because there was no law or restriction against it. When witness bad first become a member of the Board of Directors Mr. Palmer had explained to him the conditions of the Trjuat Funds, and had told him that a coffee-stand bad been equipped for one person and a piano was purchased and given t-j another from the income of the fuo)ds.

He thought the general law of trusts authorised it. The Strauss trust empowered the Directors to use the money as tpey saw fit for the benefit of the deaf and dumb. No security was exacted from Grady for the repayment of the loan except (that of his integrity. He was to pay the money back whenever his means permitted! him to do so. file gave a receipt, whica embodied such aft obligation.

The object of the Directors was to enable him to Let an advanced education so that he could teach the deaf and dumb. It was upon witness' motion that the money was loaned, at the meeting on October 2, IS861 I Director Woolsev proteste 1 against the action. Mr. Foote read an extract frdm the minutes, showing' the grounds of I Dr. Wool-say's protest to be that the money should have been used in the State and not sent abroad; also because the Board had no right ta show partiality in the distribution of the trusts, which he considered were -riven for the benefit of the pupils alike.

Mr. Lord fuither testified! that the Board of Directors ordered that the number of brooms sold to May bej duplicated on the strength of a letter from May stating that the first let bad arrived in a damaged condition. That, in the opinion of witness, was sufficient evidence. The bill of Van Laak Col for 10,000 pounds of broomcorn at 6 cents uer pound, bought on October 28, 1885, was offered in evidence. i It Director Lord, whom the defense bad made its principal witness, was now taken in hand by Mr.

Piatt for croi 9-examina-tion. 'a verbosk WITNESS, i Mr. Lord was exceedingly (verbose in his explanations of his official transactions. In regard to the purchase of broomcorn from Van Laak, witness, in company witb Mr, Brewster, the foreman of the 8tate Broom Factory, bad visited from eight tY ten dealers to broom corn. The institution's supply of the material was running very short.

The last bale was being worked np into brooms. None of the dealers whom he tai visited bad any to sell. All were expecting to re ceive shipments. There was a rapid ad vance in broomcorn at that time. The dealers told him there was a corner in broomcorn.

Witness did not want to -ro to Van Laak because the lhtter had cheatxl the Board on a former transaction. On that occasion no single bale bad tallied in weight by that given by Van Laak, and some of tbe corn was exceedingly rotten. For two days in succession witness and Brewster had looked for corn, an 1 on the second day they were told Van) Laak bad a corner in broomcora. Mr. looteobi-cted to hearsay testimony.

but the Court ruled that it wis important for witness to stale what was Ba 1 so far as it showed the inform ition upon which witness had acted. i Mr. Lord, continuing, said that Van Laak (he thought, but was not I'lite sure of it) had first aked (150 a ton for broomcorn, but finally settled on $120. Witness asked for the refusal of five tor for three days. Meanwhile a small quan about half a ton, was purchased from Palmer Steer'.

In a former transaction Van Laak complained of being paid in state warrants, which were at a discour t. One of his bills was rejected because igured up a cash basis. Van Laak wi told he would be paid in State warra- ts and he could not understand that he pas to get cash in this instance, i KB. LORD i Mr. Lord said he had never heard any objection to the sale of broorr 3 to May until after Superintendent Bums was dis- reiwed, about four months aftei the sale.

Witness congratulated himself in the sale to May, and rather "pnried" er it. Before that time he had visited ni le breweries and many corner groceries in San Francisco, endeavoring to find pur for the brooms, and could not get 1 nbody to look at them. On corner -oceryman had bought a few from the nstitution merely to please Lord, because the latter wai his neighbor, i Barns, the Superin-i tendent, bad told brooms of the same cla-s for $2 a dozen. Had the witness not sold the brooms to May Co. 8r $2 40 a dozen they would have been kept until moldy, and would not have "been salable at 2 a dozen.

Up to the time Woolsey objected to the employment 01 tbe Ubinaman witness di 1 not know the name under whicn tbe latter worked. He did not know that) any nates fuge or to conceal tbe Chinaman nation ality, nor did he know under what name the Chinaman went. Hs did not advise Mr. Wilkinson in the matter of taking bis name off the pay-roll. Aot mora than two montts agowitnes had examined the stite of the Trust funds and had written to the Recorder of Butte county for a copy of the Durham will.

BACK OFFICE VISITS. The re-direct examina ion of Mr. Lord was begun by Mr. Foote. "Did yon ever attend a meeting of the Directors of the Adult Blind' Home held in the rear office of the Union Savings Bank?" 'You have been in that office?" "Oh, yes; many times." Witness knew that Director Palmer was President of one bank and Vice-President of another, the offices of the two being in the Bame room with only a low partition between them.

There is a door in the partition and Mr. J. West Martinjs President of one bank and Vice-PresiJeat of another. "You say that yen "purred" over the sale ef brooms to May that you "pnrr" ver the purchase of broomcorn from Vau Laak?" "No." 1 Witness said he bad engaged George F. Norse to go op into the Sacramento valley to buy broomcorn for $60 a ton, at whicb price be thought it uld be bought, but) he failed to get Norse repotted that' all tbe corn had been bought up by one! Van Laak, and that the prospect was that corn would go higher.

i Foots "Don't you know that previous to that purchase Mr. Burris bad filed a writ en recommendation that broomcorn be purchased in the interior?" I Lord don't racollect I "Don't you know that it had been referred to the Committer on Supplies, of which Director Woolsey was chairman?" "if it bad been left to the Committee on Supplies, and Wools ey was chairman, it was his duty to attend to it." "Then bow came it to be your business puschssing broomccrn at $120 a ton if it wis Woolsey's business?" Vlt was not specially directed by the Board. The records will show." 'tint I am asking for your reasons." "Tbe records will show. I cannot re call all the reasons now for doing every act." i "Yon say that you know Van Laak had cheated yon in a previous transaction, yet you made this purchase and paid an exorbitant price ti him?" "Van Laak had a corner on broomcorn?" I "Had he a corner on all the twine in you purchased twine of him?" "That was only a small sffair. I had no confidtnse in him then and I.

have none 1 "Jo knowing, as yon thought, that be wns a cheat, you went and made that exorbitant purchase with your eyes wide open?" "I didn't believe him." Witness was asked if hs didn't know that the brooms sold for $2 a dozen were refuse brooms, sorted out by Burris from the good outs. He didn't know about it. At the time of the sale to May, at $2 40 per dozen, witness had had no conversation with Burris to the effect that the price charged for the brooms should be S2 75 a dozen. If sold by an agent 8 per cent was allowed the latter for bis com- mt-eion. The percentage deducted would yield tbe institution tbe price being $2 75 only $2 53 per dozen.

Perhaps after the removal of Hunts tbe latter jossibly said that 9Z 7o was tbe proper price. VAOUK PRECEDENTS. Mr. Foote read from the records of tbe Bosrd of Trustees the action taken in loaning money ta Theodora Grady. The first payment was made from the income of the Strauss fund, subsequent payments to be made from tbe income 01 tbe Strauss and Durham funds.

Foote What conditions are attached to tbe disposition of those trusts? Liord The law gives general authority. "Have you familiarized yourself witb the control of these trust funds? "I re id a copy of the Strauss will, and sent for a copy of the Durham will, but I never received it. "Then yon don't know under what con dittoes, or what restrictions, the Durham bequest was made 1 "Only what 1 have been told. Mr. Palmer explained it to me.

Bt-Director Moss informed me that a deaf-mute was given money from these funds to set up in tbe coffee-faonse buMneis. and another blind boy was given money to purchase a piano. Xnese were by way of illustrating what power the Directors had over the funds." "So you granted this money to Gra.j on that theory, without knowing whether the tarms of the trust warranted it or not 1 "I supposed the general authority given tbe Uirectors was sufficient. 1 was surprised not to find a copy on the files of the institution. Foote "We are surprised too.

G.

Shaw testified tiat they reported for Thk Thibunb the proceedings of certain meetings of the Directors of tbe Home for Adult Blind, and the' Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum. Mr. Ricord produced one of the printed reports prepared by him and testified that it wsa correct. It embraced the protest introduced by Director Woolsey against the employment of Jo root, the Chinese cook at tbe asylum Director L.ord bad objected to receiving the protest because the subject matter was not of record in the minutes ot the pre vious meeting. Mr.

Shaw reported the proceedings of the meeting when Director Woolsey's pro test against the purchasing of suppli was overruled and the Superintendent was gfen authority to make tbe pur chaws. I superintendent Urawford, in advising that himself ba sent on a drumming trip stiuth. had ttated that be bad to make trip in August. Secretary Rdman had informed the Directors that Taylor had not bem given more than 10 credit by Burris. The loss on Taylor's failure to pay for broimg had been figured up and estima'ed to equal three lour months proht8onthn sale of brooms.

The President, however, was suffering so acutely from rheu tnatism tbtt be could not see Mr. Mark-bam personally, but being informed that the California Congressman winhed to 'speak about the Judgeship, he sent word that he would not make the appointment until after the meeting of Congress, and nntil be had fully conferred with Mr. Mark ham and the other members of the California delegation.

Immediately preparations were begun with a view of taking tbe prisoner from the Sheiiff and Biim-marily lynching him. A mob numbering nearly ninety well-armed men gathered around the jsil, about midnight, and boldly demanded tbe surrender of Roe.

Tbe Sheriff bad taken tba precaution to swear in twenty-five trusted deputies, who were secreted in the jail with Winchet-tr riflrs. When the mob leirned bow the prisoner was being guarded a great howl of rage went np, and for a while a gennine riot seemed imminent. Finally the mob rode away to North Bedios, where tbey encumped, determined upon Roe. In fulfillment of this determination a small army of men is now besieging Madisoh-ville. 1 All the roads leading to that town are beine guarded, as tbe mob are determined that pending their next attack on the iail the orisoner shall not ba spirited away.
